I have 4 young Partridge Chanteclers and I would love some opinions on if they are pullets or cockerels. Here are some pics. I’ve included a few of each youngster.
Thank you in advance

Re: Sexing 4 young Partridge Chanteclers
So my guesses.......i just numbered your photos 1-13 from top to bottom
1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 look like pullet to me
3, 11, 12, 13 look like cockerel to me.
With the partridge colouring/patterning a giveaway for a cockerel is brick red feathers coming in on the shoulders. Pullets cannot have this brick red colour located on the shoulders just because of the way they pattern, but cockerels can. so if you see brick red on the shoulder it's likely a cockerel.
